Description

Located in Yountville within the Napa Valley AVA, Dominus is a wine estate producing Bordeaux-style blends. The estate was founded in 1983 by Christian Moueix, who is also the owner of Château Pétrus in the Pomerol region of Bordeaux. The vineyard was originally planted in 1838 by George C. Yount, for whom the town of Yountville was named. Released in June 2022, the 2019 vintage is a blend composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. The wine reveals its charms gradually, unfurling notes of sweet tobacco, marjoram, and jasmine. These enticing aromas pave the way to a core of iron-infused richness and luscious black plum, which resonate on the palate. The wine is available here in a rare Jeroboam.
